Jeff Fisher’s Joke That Went Wrong
Published: October 21, 2009
No Comments
Last night at a charity function for Rocket Town in Nashville coach Jeff Fisher decided to have some fun and wear a Colts jersey.
Fisher, who came dressed in a suit made the comment that he wants to fell like a winner and stripped down to a Peyton Manning Colts jersey.
Yes, it was a joke because he was getting ready to introduce his friend, ex-Colts coach Tony Dungy.
Here is the problem with this: When your team is 0-6 and just lost 59-0 there is no time for jokes. Your focus needs to be on winning a damn game.
Living within radio distance of Nashville all that has been on the radio Wednesday has been about this incident.
Yes, coach Fisher knows better and yes he did apologize, but to the thousands of fans who were already wanting his head, he has lost them forever.
Timing is always a key in everything you do and coach Fisher should of thought about that.
But, the fans of the Titans need to worry about when the are going to win a game and not what their coach is doing. With a team that the fans believe have quit, owner Bud Adams needs to figure out what direction he wants to take his team.
So, Titans fans calm down and relax their is bigger issues to deal with like.
Who is going to QB this team? When are we going to win? What does are future look like?

2008 Playoff Teams Struggle To Start 2009
Published: September 22, 2009

Two games into the 2009 NFL season and a few surprises have arisen. Three playoff teams from last year have started the season at 0-2. The Miami Dolphins, Tennessee Titans, and the Carolina Panthers have started their year in a hole that will take a miracle to get out of.
The Miami Dolphins have lost to the Atlanta Falcons and the Indianapolis Colts this season. Chad Pennington is struggling with a 75.9 QB rating. Pennington has thrown two INTs verse one touchdown.
There are a few bright spots for the Dolphins this season. Ronnie Brown has 179 yards on 34 carries so far this year and Ted Ginn Jr. has 134 yards on 13 receptions. If this pace stays up Brown will run for 1280 yards and Ginn will catch for 1072 yards.
Miami will travel to San Diego this weekend then tackle division rivals Buffalo and New York at home in the following weeks.
It is a very good possibility that the Dolphins will be 0-5 heading into BYE WEEK.
The Carolina Panthers have started the season with loses to Philadelphia and Atlanta. Quarterback play is the key to the Panthers terrible start with Jake Delhomme sitting at a 45.3 quarterback rating and questions abound about if he should be the starter. Delhomme has five INTs to one touchdown so far this year.
Steve Smith is one of the only bright spots on this team with lots of talent. Smith has 11 catches for 152 yards so far this season. The two headed running back duo are not doing too bad with each running back over 100 yards for the season and both on pace for at least 800 yards rushing this season. The defense has struggled in stopping the run so far this season giving up 168 yards a game.
Carolina will travel to Dallas this week then get a break before hosting Washington in week five.
Look for Carolina to go 0-3 then regroup and get a win in week five against Washington.
The Tennessee Titans started the season with losses to Pittsburgh and the Houston Texas. The Titans lost both games by three points.
While the offense hasn’t looked totally bad it hasn’t looked great. Kerry Collins sits at a respectful 85.4 rating and has three touchdowns to two INTs. The key to the offense is star running back Chris Johnson who has 254 yards rushing and 10 catches for 98 yards receiving with three touchdowns total. Justin Gage and Kenny Britt are both having decent starts to their season with 105 and 107 yards respectfully.
The Titans defense has given up almost 700 yards of passing offense while holding the running game to only 99 through two games.
The Titans will travel to the Jets and the Jaguars before coming home to play the Colts in Week five.
The Titans will regroup and win two out of the next three and be at 2-3 heading into week six.

The Reciever’s Who Are Going To Led Dallas To The Promise Land
Published: September 17, 2009

As the 2009 season starts, the Dallas Cowboys are starting fresh. The team got rid of trouble maker reciever Terrell Owens in the off-season and are looking at the future with eyes wide open.
QB Tony Romo is back and barring any injuries look for at least 275 pass completions and at least 3500 yards passing.
Romo will have some veterans and some players looking to prove the belong to throw to this year.
The Dallas Cowboys recieving corp on paper probaly doesn’t look good but it will be one of the best in the league by the end of the season which will end in the Super Bowl.
Jason Witten has had at least 65 receptions over the last five years and 71.5 avgerage over his six years in the league. Witten also averaged 822.50 yards over that same six year period. Witten is one of the best tight ends in the game and will be one of Romo’s favirote targets this season.
Prediction for Witten = 93 receptions for 1075 yards and 8 TDs
Roy E. Williams will be the No. 2 target for Romo this year. Williams had his worst production as a pro last year splitting time between Detroit and Dallas.
Williams has averaged 56.2 receptions since joining the league in 2004. With 816 yards averaged per season during that time look for Williams to show why he was a top pick out of Texas.
Prediction for Williams = 91 receptions for 1100 yards and 6 TDs
Patrick Crayton has been a solid No. 3 for Dallas for the last five years and this year he will surpass all his career highs and show everybody why he is a star. Crayton is a soild 31.8 reception 453.2 yard guy but not anymore. Crayton will see the ball more than he ever has this year.
Prediction for Crayton = 64 receptions for 815 yards and 5 TDs
Miles Austin is a fourth year guy trying to prove his worth. With career numbers last year in 13 receptions for 278 yards it wont take much attention by Romo to get him by these numbers. Austin will get 1-3 touches a night so look for an improvement from last year.
Prediction for Austin = 27 receptions for 374 yards and 3 TDs
Martellus Bennett is a young star in the making. This season will be almost an exact copy from last year’s production stand point.Bennett will catch 1-2 balls a night and give Dallas a different look besides Witten.
Prediction for Bennett = 21 receptions for 286 yards and 3 TDs
Look for Dallas to cut down on their passing to the running backs this season but if the need to look for Marion Barber and Tashard Choice to get the receptions. Last year Dallas threw to the running backs over 75 times for receptions look for that number to be cut down to 40 or less.
Other recievers will get in the game for the Cowboys and could have a great impact for the team.
Romo will have a Pro Bowl year and possible MVP year. Look for career numbers from the seventh year pro.
